If Bit-Rate has some awesome effect, I'm gonna alternate between it and Jazzy. Also, the length of time I use Jazzy is gonna depend on how long I can stand the Amp bit of crazy horns. xD
I miss jazzy so much, used it the whole year and only changed to equalizer because "i asked for it and now i gotta use it"( i wanted the green version of equalizer if the pants were not going to change colors ;-;)
Maybe bit-rate is getting chiptunes?
Full Leaks, including emotes and Petra gameplay
It looks like something straight out of Tomb Raider/Uncharted

Why did they stop making alt colors of Epics and Legendaries? I love blue Equalizer. x.x
AND BIT-RATE BETTER GET CHIPTUNES.
Speed equalizer ain't there because they fucked up giving capoeira green pants. Everyone and their mother should know capoeira clothes are white by just doing a google search lol
Neonwatch
I've seen some Capoeira edits on Tumblr that give him all white clothes...
But I like the colorful version more? 8'D.....
They are white because the slaves couldn't afford colored clothes o- o it has meaning
;~; I know it does. It is just a very basic aesthetic preference.
Granted, if I ever get on with doing my cosplay of it, I should make it white.
Sweet <3, i liked the green tone because i thought we wouldn't get equalizer, now I dread it for two reasons lol
The map has some light and dark theme going on and I LOVE IT
Hope there's some lore in those screens...
Also the OWL announcement flopped hard right?
It's not though, like Nepenthe said, shirtless men do not have the same connotation as shirtless women, or even women showing their legs.
People have to make entire campaigns to convince people that women showing skin aren't "Invinting" anyone to have sex with them, the same is not needed for men.
I hope you're being sarcastic. If not, there's a thread in era discussing the matter and you should read it through before making false equivalents, I'm a bit tired of having to explain that to every man I talk to >_>
She totally does.
Too bad I'm a filthy Lucio main and am going to throw my money there first, and then plan to see how much I need to recover before Summer.
At least it's only 750. I like Lucio too. I really hope his glasses have animation. Might be one of my most used Lucio skins if that's the case.
Agreed (brownie points for keeping her expressive eyes intact), but I really love Shieldmaiden Brigitte, what with my love for Norse Mythology.
I've always thought that the sexual fanservice was generally well done in Overwatch. Widowmaker is obviously the most heavily titillating of the female characters, but her archtype is the femme fatale and everything plays into that. You can debate whether the archtype itself has merit beyond titillation, but since all the OW characters are based off one archtype or another, you can argue that she's being treated fairly. Plus, the fact that the other female characters aren't all given sexualized skins helps make her sexualization her own character trait rather than "She's a woman, so we gotta have her show some skin". I wouldn't say it's perfect because some sexualization is unnecessary. No reason for Tracers pants to ride up her ass that much, and Mercy can be awfully fanservicey herself without it seeming being part of her characterization. But it's overall pretty good.
Symmetra has always kinda been the exception. In her characterization, she comes off as highly rule crazy and stringent because of her nature and profession. As a result, it's always made me wonder why her outfit would have short shorts and stockings. And this doesn't help. If they wanted a Zatanna/Magician-esque skin, they could have done so without being overly sexualized. Like actual Zatanna from Young Justice.
That looks fine to me. Maybe still a bit sexualized, but she looks like she's actually wearing pants atleast. This small change would have been for the better, imo.

Brigitte probably got that bear cape after Barbarian Zarya had her fun wrestling it.
Orisa's eyes give me life, it's the best part of her design @----@ I'm so buying that skin and I don't even play orisa that much
Orisa has been my go-to Main Tank for Season 9/10, but I mainly used her Default or Carbon Fiber skins, as I felt indifferent towards her stag beetle, OR-14 NR, & Immortal cosmetic skins.
That Brigitte skin is so cool! So is the Orissa skin. One skin that I don't really dig that much is the Sym skin. She looks like she came straight from a Playboy magazine. The arm is also really weird and I'm not to fond of it.
Is the legendary in the free box we'll get a guaranteed Anniversary one? In other words, no legendary from past events or from the base loot?
If so... if i'm still missing some skins from last year Anniversary, I should probably buy them before opening the free box right? Since they are less expensive and getting a 1k skin from the box rather than a 3k one would kinda suck.
Edit : damn... I'm missing 5 skins from last year and I only got 5k... forget about it. :(

Well, I need to get Jazzy too, so that's another 1k. Then all of his emotes, sprays, and lines, and if it's available, his soccer spray. So maybe another 300 or so? I've got 5k saved up, so if I buy out Lucio and Orisa's new skin, I'm looking at a tight wallet, and if he gets something cool for summer, I might be a bit fucked.
Gotta plan for the future yo.
You don't think Tracer's is bad?
If it was like the last legendary box, it'll be random. I would hope at the very least it's a guaranteed event skin.
Yeah, I don't mind torb, but Lightning looks straight up like some foriegn knock off.
"Here's Tracey from Overseer!"
Nah, Tracer is just her new hairstyle. Not a big deal. The Torb looks like some kid vomited out random designs.
I'm dead
I don't mind Torb's but I'm also not a fan of it either. I respect your opinion about it. I think if I were to change anything, making Tracer's hair cyan or perhaps just changing her hair and make it like her default one would be fine. The rest of the outfit is cool.
I like it! And on topic, all that Symmetra skin needs is fucking PANTS.
Symmetra's default skin design fails to communicate her role as an architech or multinational employee it focus instead on communicating her as a dancer, and though that makes her sorta interesting, it kinda pushes her to sexualization quite a lot, when that should be a really small part of her characterI've always thought that the sexual fanservice was generally well done in Overwatch.

This young justice Zatana is pretty great and had them took it as an startin point the skin would look much better, but since it clashes with the dancer part they are going to ruin it with some sexualized inspirations because of her dancer shticks :|(and because they are too lazy to make new assets because they clearly used her default boots).
About widow, nothing wrong with having a proper femme fatale, but until recently she seemed to have no agency whatsoever and those are pretty bad tropes to put together as it could mean she's not only a brainwashed killer but could also be used for... other... reasons... Luckly they are trying to fix that and make her her own character. Can't say I like some angles her highlight screens show, but she does have some classy skins that don't need the cleavege to look sexy af o- o. Nowhere in Symm's bio sells her story as a sexualized character like widow though, which makes her default and now her magician skin sketchy :/.
But yeah, OWs sexualizations are usually more tasteful than other game's, that's why this skin is a huge punch in the stomach to me =\ that's touching fetish tier.
Symmetra stays getting some of the best skins in the game. Gay icon.
Orisas skin is wild too! Love hers!
Also lmfao at Moira's cybergoth dance

In Heroes of the Storm, Tracer got a cute swimwear skin & they went all out with the effects (her pulse bomb explodes like a water balloon, her pulse pistols are water guns, etc.), & it's one of those skins that they could've been sleazy about, but it's one of the best skins they've designed for the character.
Goddamn she looks awesome, it's like the summer games skin!(which shows her whole belly yet doesn't feel sexualized at all )In Heroes of the Storm, Tracer got a cute swimwear skin & they went all out with the effects (her pulse bomb explodes like a water balloon, her pulse pistols are water guns, etc.), & it's one of those skins that they could've been sleazy about, but it's one of the best skins they've designed for the character.
New Sym is pretty nice though there's no beating Dragon.
Orisa is pretty cool but not 3000 cool. Hope I get lucky but with so many shit in lootboxes I'm not counting on it.

I still hope one day we get Maskerade Reaper.
"Considering Reaper had no idea what Vialli looked like, there's a good chance he's never actually sat at the Talon round table shadowy board of directors thing before and this rufflepuff masquerade costume was their first time experiencing him in person."

Just curious, but what percent of your total playtime is on Lucio? I imagine its a lot.
